>> biden. [cheers] >> so, if you are with me. go to joe biden.com and sign up. >> let's finish this job. i know we can. because this is the united states of america. there's nothing we cannot do if we work together. >> steve: there you go. that is almost the entire three minutes of joe biden's launch video. it came out three minutes and two seconds ago. it was we saw it a little earlier this morning. it's very clear, if you remember last year. and it was 4 years ago to the today that he announced that he was running back in 2019. in the video that launched his campaign last time, he had the theme of remember who we are. and in this one, once again is remember who we are. but this time he also focuses on january 6th, abortion, maga republicans, you see images of ron desantis, of donald trump, of matt gaetz and he talks about

how republicans are going to take your social security. they are going to back books. it's all about freedom and all about rights. >> ainsley: that's what i noticed it was really more of a social campaign saying that he is slamming the maga republicans, calls them extremists who want to cut social security which we saw on the house floor which is not true or on the hill. they want to cut taxes for the wealthy, he says. we want to focus on treating everyone with dignity. republicans want to ban books, dictate women's healthcare solutions and tell people who they can love and republicans make it difficult to vote. stand up for the right to vote and our civil rights. >> brian: i was struck by the whole banning books things. depending on how you look at it. they don't want to put huck finn in the library culturally. they don't think there should be sexual explicit books in grammar school. if that's banning books. who you love i thought we were done with this.

transgender sports i think republicans would welcome that debate or publicly financing transitioning i think that's interesting and making it harder to vote. or you could say make putting integrity into voting. this is where republicans are going to have to tackle one-on-one. if that is joe biden projecting himself, selling himself, he sounds like is he doing a golf tournament. whispering in the background instead of taking charge i'm in charge. this is what i have done and this is what i will do. he is basically trying to say look how bad the other guys are. and this is his strong what he thinks and democrats think is his strongest sell. >> ainsley: who is behind this? who is really running the campaign. if you listen to so many people last night vivek ramaswamy and tulsi gabbard were saying that vivek say i see myself running guess a managerial class with a puppet in front of it. a form of elder abuse and tulsi gabbard said something that shocked the live audience last night on sean hannity's show. she said for them to stay in

power, they need biden to run in this re-election. and when he can't function anymore, then they are going to install their puppet kamala harris to become the unelected president of the united states. then she runs against in 2028 with the power of incumbency behind her. they want someone that they control. >> brian: she is not competent though. >> ainsley: she wasn't in the video. >> brian: barely. what donald trump said you could take the five worst presidents in american history and put them together and couldn't do the damage that joe biden has done to our nation in a few short years. >> steve: what they are going to focus on. keep in mind they did officially announce they're runs for re-election; however, don't expect to see many changes. you won't see any big campaign rallies for many, many months. >> brian: ever. >> steve: there will be apparently a donor summit at the white house on friday where essentially they say okay, we are going to run for president. we probably need $2 billion. who is in? >> brian: a lot of bumper

stickers. >> steve: meanwhile regarding the team looks like the campaign manager julie chavez rodriguez. the daughter of the it union manager from florida. quinton fulks. behind the scenes general mali. previous campaign manager. nina dunn, communications person will remain at the white house. and there you see some of the leadership chairs that they're officially announcing as of seven minutes ago. >> brian: what's interesting is hanging over this friendly poll only 26% of americans think he should one again. 70 percent said he should not. 74% of 18 to 34s an area in which he dominated donald trump says he should not run again. donald trump 35 percent said he should run. 60 percent said shouldn't. so this is a rematch and the front story on politico is that democrats want.

they think this is the man to beat donald trump. the big difference is trump put his report card up and it's been stapled to the wall and now we have three years, two and a half years of joe biden and a lot of people say -- republicans say instead of the theory of a moderate president that is going to bring stability to the white house. please explain to me where that is and you mentioned susan rice. she is now out who knows if she will play a role in this she is thought to be doing most of the domestic policy at least somebody behind the scenes who expressed outrage at xavier becerra and how he allowed the border to collapse and how incompetent he is including many reports. we think from the outside. she was saying it from the inside. >> ainsley: remember we talked about the trojan horse elected him on the moderate stance. everyone thought he would be moderate. people didn't like trump they voted for joe biden thinking he was going to be more in the middle. he kept saying i want to unite

and bring everyone together. he campaigned from his basement. other people energy chief of staff the campaign. get him in office and can control him. he votes the way they want him to vote. and then their agenda, tulsi gabbard is right. they will get kamala harris in and they will controls white house for, you know, four different cycles in a row. >> steve: here's what they are going to run on. they are going to focus on the accomplishments. this is how it breaks down. they will focus on the bipartisan infrastructure bill. that appeals to their union base. they are going to focus on climate change. that focuses with the younger people who are more environmentally. >> ainsley: abortion. >> steve: they are going to focus on healthcare, which is of interest to everybody pretty much the united states. but a particular interest to seniors. those things and his record is good on those things. meanwhile, on the other side you have got ron desantis, i know he was on with sean last night. sean was trying hard to get him to say okay.

i'm in. does he do it? stay tuned. >> so i have said from the election of 2022 when penal started asking me, we got a legislative session that we're working on. we have a few more weeks to go with that we will be putting up a lot of wins on the board. i'm not going to be making any announcements before that's concluded. >> okay. are you leaning one way or another? >> stay tuned. >> steve: we have heard that until the florida legislature is done. >> ainsley: i wonder what trump will say about that. he was talking about joe biden running. he refers to the biden administration as a failure. did he say that about the five presidents combined. almost inconceivable that biden would even think of running for re-election. >> brian: one thing i think number one issue the republicans have to work at and i have not seen a coherent message what you mentioned abortion. the rest of the stuff, i think the republicans could feel totally confident saying yeah, there were things about the infrastructure bill.

that's where we got 15 senators we like. see how they execute and get it done. on climate change more of an argument that the republicans want more than ever. they are seeing how in all practicality. licensing out our national security and knowing that every electric car you buy is a feather in the cap to the chinese because they own 70% of all the battery power and they own movies the rare earth and the places they don't own rare earth like afghanistan and congo they have lassoed it up and have total influence of that area if not control of those areas. there's an easy way to tell that story which is in the national interest. and then when you look around at the world falling part before our eyes. we abandoned four embassies since the president took over. we see what happened in afghanistan. we see our influence waning in the middle east of the collapse of the abraham accords before our eyes. latin america, being licensed to the chinese not a world as

brazil, argentina and colombia going to socialist communist orbit. that was not taking place over the previous regime. the question is who can message better. who has got the energy. one thing is clear. joe biden can't do the messaging. donald trump can. so if you don't like donald trump's message that's probably not going to work for you. if you want to hear the other side. you will hear it. with joe biden you are going to need a slick tape or a surrogate. >> ainsley: not hear all sides of the dnc. if you are a democrat and looking at all the candidates. you won't hear them on the debate stage during the primaries. some of the candidates are upset. marianne bmison said it's unconstitutional. undemocratic. unfortunate. acting like no other democrats running on the democratic side. nina says undemocratic robs the voters of choice that is supposed to be the democratic process. the republican national committee is now launching a website so they can fact check joe biden in real time fact

check biden.com. lying about his record. our borders are not safe. our borders are not secure. our economy is not strong and the afghanistan withdrawal was not a success. >> steve: i'm sure people are looking at that right now insiders are betting that donald trump will be the candidate. so they're planning accordingly. what they are doing is ramping up the criticism of all republicans, calling them maga extremists. he was at a union hall in maryland a couple of days ago. evidence referred to maga 21 times. so clearly clearly they are trying to do that when you watch the imagery. you got to admit. you said slick. it is a very well-produced rollout ad for joe biden. not exactly nfl film inspiration. >> steve: for his crowd that voted for him before. to your point about the nbc poll came out where 70% say don't

run. well now he is running. then the question is becomes okay, if you voted for him before, since he is the only one, are you going to support him as it relates to joe biden. six things disturbing decisions the vice president and president made as it relates to business dealings catch momentum small show to major show on the side. >> steve: it if there is something there and republicans have plenty of runway to find something if it's there. >> ainsley: hunter biden is scheduled to appear may 1st in arkansas for his baby's momma who want him in jail says he is not releasing his financial records through discovery. >> brian: imagine that? why would he not want to release hesitate financial records? give me a second we ran out of time. i guess we should take a break.

something real quick and do the right thing. and then later to find out that since 2014, we have to go through so many impossibles to first prove to them that we're not trying to discriminate against the poor by asking them to remove the poor and give them a place to stay and eat and sleep. and then trying to change the narrative that having homelessness is not okay and have the media change the narrative into saying that somebody is responsible for that and it's going to be our city officials and our county officials. and i would say, also, our state officials and our federal officials, too. everybody is responsible. every citizen is responsible for that. >> ainsley: george, if you look at these images, i mean, anyone who owns a business. anyone who owns a house, if that was what was parked in front of your home or your property, i know it has to effect your business. i know if that were in front of a home and we are seeing that in california, then that effects the safety of families. this is a statement from the

county of los angeles about homelessness. they said l.a. county declared a state of emergency on homelessness earlier this year and further fast tracking efforts to resolve encampments and scale up housing and mental health and substance abuse services. emergency response will build on efforts that have sheltered 120,000 people and housed 90,000 people over the last five years. what we hear from a lot of our guests, george, it's not just about being pour. they are trying to put the people who can't afford a home or lost their jobs and are sleeping in their cars, they are trying to put them in facilities. some of these individuals don't want to leave. they like living in a dent. many of them are using drugs or using alcohol and they like their life there. how do you change this? you and six other businesses sued. they said they are going to remove the encampments and they never did. >> yes. i have to tell you you are right. nobody would accept this it's not easy to talk to city

officials. if you look at tesla, for example. when they gave music incentives to come to california. he was the first to start his business in los angeles and then when things don't got right way, instead of sending a letter to the mayor and suing the mayor like i did, the smart businessman moved out of the place. and he went and started his business somewhere else. it was easier for him to send the rocket to the moon than to send a letter to the mayor's office. or to talk to county supervisors. did it wrong thing. i tried to fix what is not fix cybil. but, you know what? it's working. it's working slow. but, hopefully one day somebody would come and join hands with us and help us finish what we started. we went really far from where we started. you know. we want we are still fighting with the county and have attorneys instead of helping the

judge finish the task, they are slowing him down and that's why it's taking years. >> ainsley: that was interesting. easier to get a rocket to the moon -- or a rocket into space than it is to fix the homeless problem in california. i hope it doesn't force you to move but i understand if you feel the need that you have to do that to get your family out of there. thank you so much, george. we appreciate it? >> thank you for your support. >> ainsley: you are welcome. we also reached out to the city for a statement but did not receive a response. it is official joe is giving it a go throwing his hat in the ring for 2 2024 despite a majory of democrats hoping for a different candidate. michigan congressman john james will react next at adp, we understand business today looks nothing like it did yesterday. while it's more unpredictable, its possibilities are endless. from paying your people from anywhere to supporting your talent everywhere, we use data driven insights to design hr solutions and services

>> steve: the photos are ---he is just adorable. is he six months old. his whole life ahead of him. and now, look at that and now, extraordinarily, these two teenagers who stole a car and ran into your family's pickup truck and killed that little boy. they have been charged with a misdemeanor. not manslaughter. a misdemeanor. criminal trespassing. i don't get that. do you get it? >> no. no. it's absolutely ridiculous. it's really truthfully just the biggest slap on the wrist. a slap in the face to us completely. i don't know if the people who put these charges on them have kids, but i think anybody even without children can stand that this is wrong. people across all -- everything, i have gotten nothing but messages from people who said they are outraged. they are saddened. they don't understand as well as

us and we a lot of times get messages well, why is this happening if this is that, we are just as confused as the city of chicago as to why this is occurring. it's really disheartening and it's really upsetting. >> steve: anan an la lease, i he red reportedly what have you hed from the district attorney reportedly soft on crime in your town does it sound like they are going to upgrade the charges. >> not that we're aware of. it's been a week. we have not been contacted by either the police or the dre from what i have understanding of, it's really really disappointing. it doesn't make any sense.

i mean, there is not even justice for the person whose car they stole. criminal trespassing? what did they trespass into? the car? it makes absolutely no sense. it's beyond me and i think that the district attorney has just as much blood on her hands as the people who did this. if they don't bring other charges. >> steve: annalise, i will give you 30 seconds. be your little nephew's advocate. talk to the d.a. tell them why they need to do something. >> i want to know how you sleep at night seeing my nephew's picture on the screen. how you can see his face and think that his life meant absolutely nothing. okay? you are putting salt on our wounds. you are not bringing us justice. and even if you do something, we will never get our baby back, ever. there is no true justice. the only place we will ever receive justice and only one who can bring true justice is god.

because this is absolutely -- it's something that i don't wish upon my worst enemy truthfully. and not only -- it's not a matter of if this is going to happen to another child. it's when. this is a daily occurrence in chicago. it's a daily occurrence on the west side and south sides of the city. it's absolutely disgusting that these people don't advocate and they claim to be advocates for black and brown communities when they're not. because they let black and brown children die every day and by letting those boys on the street, you are allowing them to do this again. and you are allowing it to happen to another baby. because we're not the worst. that's the sad part here is that one of dozens ever children that die in chicago every day. because of the crime that happens here in the city. >> steve: ann elise, nobody a better advocate for you if you
